<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus capable of efficiently encoding a moving image in accordance with an exposure time. <P>SOLUTION: A digital camera 1 is provided with an imaging element 3, an exposure time adjusting part 8 for adjusting the exposure time of the imaging element 3, and an encoding part 6 for detecting a motion vector in an image obtained from the imaging element 3, performing motion compensation processing using the motion vector and encoding a moving image. A search range changing part 11 changes the width of a search range of the motion vector on the basis of the exposure time of the imaging element 3. For example, the search range changing part 11 narrows the search range of the motion vector as the exposure time of the imaging element 3 is longer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
